6:8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs 6 among the people. 6:9 But some men from the Synagogue 7 of the Freedmen (as it was called), 8 both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, as well as some from Cilicia and the province of Asia, 9 stood up and argued with Stephen. 6:10 Yet 10 they were not able to resist 11 the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. 6:11 Then they secretly instigated 12 some men to say, “We have heard this man 13 speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 6:12 They incited the people, the 14 elders, and the experts in the law; 15 then they approached Stephen, 16 seized him, and brought him before the council. 17 6:13 They brought forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop saying things against this holy place 18 and the law. 19 6:14 For we have heard him saying that Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and change the customs 20 that Moses handed down to us.” 6:15 All 21 who were sitting in the council 22 looked intently at Stephen 23 and saw his face was like the face of an angel. 24
